I needed to increase the Wifi coverage for out internet service in the backroom where I handle paperwork on days when I am not on job sites. I went and picked up the NetGear Range Extender. I held off on getting one as I thought it would be complicated to set up and install. I'm not tech savvy, so I was hesitant in picking this up. I was wrong, VERY wrong. It was so easy to install and set up. It took about 10-minutes from getting it out of the box to having it up and working. Extended coverage now throughout the house.

Out of the box, plug and play, instructions to set up are very easy to follow. It really extended my wifi signal, I used to get 1 bar when I am in the master's bedroom, now I get full 5 bars anywhere in my house. It even extended my wifi signal outside my house to my patio, which is a good 150 ft away from where the unit is.

I have tried a number of range extenders in my house and this one has worked better than the rest. My one issue has been that from time to time it will not connect devices and requires a power off reset to correct.

Bought this product to replace an older bridge when I needed to replace my modem. Offers different access speeds; however, I have not noticed any difference between them so far. Signal appears stronger throughout our house; although, I have not yet confirmed.

I use multiple devices at the same time at a distance of about 30ft from the extender and I have had no issues. I am able to stream and and surf the web with very minimal moments of buffering, I am very pleased with this product!

Bought this because we had poor connectivity in the family room extension of an older home (it's like the wireless can't make it through the brick wall of the house). We pretty much had no connectivity in the yard and that appears to be resolve now (will know better come the warm weather). Only issue is we seem to have times when our devices cannot connect to either the main router or this extender - as if there is some confusion, not sure if this has anything to do with the main router being a Linksys. It has been a little frustrating but overall our wireless strength and range has improved.

Staying at a friend's two months, I found their router was on the first floor. I sit at a desk on the third floor on the other end of the house. Thanks to the Best Buy associate who recommended this extender and to Best Buy for carrying it, I have been able to stay connected during my stay. It is being loaned to a friend as of next week. I count this as a good purchase!

I really didn't know which router extender to get -- ended up with this one -- not as easy to set up as it states on the outside box -- just got it setup with some dumb luck -- make it easier to setup -- its working now -- happy with the results

My son's room has a good signal at his desk, but nothing on the far side of the room (where his gaming stuff is). We put this on his desk, and now the whole room is online. Computer is connected with Ethernet and all else is wifi, and no lag anywhere. The only drawback is that, occasionally (and for no reason we can find), the unit will lose connection from the main router. Restart it and it goes like a champ again. Seems a small thing every couple of weeks, but that is the only reason for less than 5 stars.

I purchased this router as a bridge unit due to my primary internet connection being at the far end of my home that had lots of angles and obstructions. Setup and bridging to the other unit was very easy, streaming issues have completely gone away and the price was well worth eliminating the frustration of losing signals an all my Wi-Fi computers and TV's.

My wireless router was far away from where I used my iPhone and iPad so the signal was weak outside or distant rooms. This wireless extender gave me a strong signal in all those places. I am not a computer geek, but the setup was fast, easy, and it walked me through everything.
